THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WHITE MINISTERS Flayed by Rev. Ransom. Says They are More Interested in Big Fight than in Lynchings. Should Johnson win Result would Decide as to Supremacy of Brawn. VOL. XVI. WHITE MIN Flayed by Rev. Ransom. Sa in Big Fight than in Lynch Result would Decide as t Last Sunday evening the members of Bethel A. M. E. church listened to a sermon preached by Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom on the coming fight between Jack Johnson and Jim Jefferies, in which many of the white ministers throughout the country were accused of trying to start a nationwide protest against the big fight, mainly because one contestant was a black man and the other a white man. The speaker charged that the same white ministers who are showing such activity in connection with the coming Johnson-Jeffries fight have never registered a wail of protest whenever a Negro is shot or burned at the stake. Following is Rev. Ransom's sermon: "However much we may seek to obscure it, the impending pugilistic contest between Mr. James Jeffries and Mr. Jack Johnson occupies a large space in the columns of the newspaper press. Some of the ministerial associations throughout the country, notably the Methodist Episcopal church, have taken up the matter, while ministers of many denominations have raised their voice in protest against it. "We do not rise to question the attitude of these reverend gentlemen from the standpoint of the conservation of public morals. But from our view-point it is noteworthy that these ministerial associations and individual ministers, so far as we know, are not on record as being equally distributed over certain other exhibitions of brutality which are of frequent occurrence. "Negroes are shot, hung, burned at the stake when suspected or accused of crime, and no wail of protest comes from these reverends, either individually or through their ministerial associations. Is a prize fight more revolting and atrocious than these lynchings and burnings which are of much too frequent occurrence? "No respectable colored minister in the United States is interested in the pugilistic contest between Johnson and Jeffries, from the standpoint of race. The truth is that no Negro, including Mr. Jack Johnson, ever thinks of himself from the standpoint of race in relation to any contest, only as through prejudice it is forced up- on him. The Negro is an American in every ambition, aspiration and desire. The Attitude of Johnson and Negroes as a Whole. "In fine contrast to the expressions of the sporting pages of the public press, and the white people generally, stands the attitude of Jack Johnson and the colored people as a whole. We hear much talk to the effect that Jeffries 'must come back' to regain the championship for the white race. We do not believe that Jack Johnson thinks or has ever thought of holding the championship for the 'black race.' Johnson is not trying to win the Negro championship, but to hold and defend his title against all comers, regardless of race or color. This is more than John L. Sullivan can say, or James J. Corbett, or even Jeffries, until the present denouement. "Some ministers are attempting to start a nation-wide protest against this impending pugilistic encounter. Contests for supremacy of physical prowess are as old as history. In Greece we had the Isthmian games. Our present Marathan races, which fail of the quality of the ancient Olympiads, are but the revival of the same. In Rome the Collisseum resounded with shouts at the brutal gladiatorial contests. Today in Spain the great national sport is the meeting of the matador with the bull in the arena, the strength and skill of the human brute against the beast. "The Negro must prove his efficiency in every realm. In our colleges and universities feats of physical powers, while not set down in the catalogue, hold equal rank with intellectual achievements. In the high schools and colleges in New York and throughout the country the Negro is repeatedly winning honors in scholarship and athletics. "If national baseball would let down its color line, the Negro would bring a galaxy of new stars to shine upon the diamond. Many good white people, friends of the Negro, and many Negroes fear that if Jack Johnson should win in the contest with Mr. Jeffries it would greatly intensify the acuteness of our ever-present race antagonism. "In view of the attitude of the clergy and a large section of the press, there is one question that should be settled for all time in the realm of physical prowess: Is it to be a contest of white men against white men—that is, the whites measuring themselves by themselves—or shall we decide the merit and supremacy of brain and brawn not upon the ground of race or color but of merit and efficiency?''—New York Age. NRGRESS SAYS THAT SHE'LL GO TO CLASS BALL. New York, June 15.—Irene Vandevall, a Negress of the graduating class of East Orange high school, said today that she intends to attend, with her sister and their escorts, the class dance to be held in the Women's club rooms at Orange on June 24. The other 80 members of the graduating class are white. The declaration of the Vendervall girl has caused commotion in the Oranges. Efforts have been made to buy from the Negresses the tickets issued to them. They have refused to sell. The Negresses have the support of their father, James N. Vandervall. He led a fight several years ago against the segregation of a foreign element from other pupils in the grammar schools. N. C. MUTUAL AND PROV. VIDENT ASSOCIATION Durham, N. C., June 6.—The head officers of the greatest Negro insurance company in the world are situated in this city, and from these offices are controlled agencies all through North and South Carolina. This company is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, organized eleven years ago and now occupying a most important position among such financial institutions in this section of the country. The affairs of the company are under the management of a most capable board of management who have so successfully conducted affairs that the company has, in its eleven years of business, written 200,000 members, has 650 agents and representatives, and has built up a splendid reserve fund for the protection of every policy written, with total assets, according to statement issued December 31, 1909, of $72,808.67, and insurance in force, $1,545,479.00. The funds are invested in productive real estate and every claim is met promptly. All classes of life insurance are written, particular attention being paid to the "industrial" department, where policies are issued for large or small amounts and premiums are payable in small weekly or monthly instalments. The head offices are located in their buildings on Parrish street, and two whole floors are required for the purpose of the company. JOHNSON FEARS RACE RIOT San Francisco, June 12.—Jack Johnson is fearful of a race riot occurring at the arena on July 4, when he meets Jeffries for the heavyweight championship of the world, and the colored man has already sought protection from the chief of police and the sheriff. Johnson brought up this subject a few days ago and talked as if he feared that the white men at the ringside might be worked up into a frenzied mood in the event that Jeffries was being whipped and start trouble. Johnson is afraid of the delegation which is coming here from Tennessee to see the fight, as many of them are prejudiced against colored men, he says. To prevent any trouble and arguments that might occur between the colored spectators and the white men were in the arena, Promoter Tex Rickard has set aside a space for the colored spectators. Eight thousand seats have been set aside for the Negroes are expected. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. J. B. Lott left last Monday, for a three months' visit to Ann Arbor, Mich. Mrs. George Hutchinson and children have returned after an extended trip to Denver, Colo. Mrs. E. N. Reynolds, with the assistance of the members of the A. M. E. church, had quite a success with their sacred concert last Sunday evening. The program was well rendered and pleased a good-sized audience. The Rio Grande Eastern Star Chapter held its annual sermon last Sunday afternoon at the A. M. E. church. The weather was very warm, yet a large number of the chapter was out to hear some choice remarks by Rev. E. T. Ellsworth. The Mount Olive Baptist church through the earnest efforts of their pastor, Rev. W. L. Wilkins, will soon begin the completion of their beautiful cement block church, which they started to erect last year. The public high school commencement exercises are in progress. We are sorry to note that not a single colored child graduated from that institution this year but next year we hope to meet with better success. Rev. H. H. H. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is becoming quite popular in our city as a Christian worker. Harmony reigns supreme in all departments of the church. His sermons are always full of thought and wisdom with a pleasing delivery. His members respect him as a scholar and a deep thinker. The membership of the church has doubled since he became pastor. He has now enrolled eighty members and by the close of the quarter the roll will no doubt reach the 100 mark. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES M. B. Moten, Athens, Ga., has had built at a cost of $50,000 an opera house for the city. Its appointments and furnishings are said to be equal to any establishment of the kind in the country, costing the same amount of money. Henderson, Ky., May 26.—B. W. Ebeln, a well-known horseman of this city, who shot and killed Mattie White, a Negro servant in the family, was fatally wounded by Mrs. Eben at the Ebeln home today. Mrs. Ebeln told the police that either she or her husband had to die. Jealousy is supposed to have caused the killing. The greatest enterprise in the southwest is the automobile factory at Hutchinson, Kans. Billy Newton, president and general manager is a pusher and knows how to make a proposition go. He turns out one of the best machines on the market. Washington, June 8.—Of the 55,000 enumerators employed in gathering population statistics for the thirteenth census, 1,605 were Negrones. Of these 1,295 were in the Southern States. Secretary Nagel said today he had not heard a complaint about their work. They were all appointed after examinations and thus, he said, a good class of men was obtained. In South Carolina alone the number of Negro enumerators this year was 131, whereas 10 years ago all were whites. The race question in the District of Columbia has been a running sore with the race longer ago than 1874, when we first crossed the Potomac and ate fried oysters at Col. Perry Carson's Pennsylvania Avenue Cafe. The sore is running yet, as raw and as troublesome. It appears to have a firm hold on the 90.000 colored people who reside in the District of Columbia, and not only keeps them busy, but the white people thinking—Philadelphia Tribune. St. Louis, May 25.—The Cote Brilliante Improvement Association, at its meeting, adopted resolutions favoring a plan to withhold its support in future to any candidate for member of the School unless he declares himself in favor of the segregation of the Negro. A bipartisan committee was appointed to work in conjunction with the different improvement NO. 40 and protective associations of the city to secure the election of men to public office who will strive to prevent colored people from locating in white residence districts. The district embraces the locality where the new Sumner High School for Negro pupils is situated. This school opens next September. Keystone, W. Va., has a population of only 3,000 souls, but life here is about as varied and strenuous as in New York City and Cripple Creek combined. The Negro in business is keeping pace with the white man, as a competitor, in every sort of trade activity, furthermore, he more than holds his own. In the professional and official pursuits he is also successfully "padding his own canoe." There are three or four physicians four or five lawyers, quite a number of magistrates and policemen (all colored), one church, two members of the city council, while the only newspaper published in the place is the McDowell Times, a colored journal, set up by both white and colored compositors, and edited by M. T. Whittico, an influential factor in the community. The wealthiest colored man here is A. L. Calhoun who is a thoroughgoing business man. He is estimated to be worth anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000. He is one or the two colored members of the city council; the other member is Dr. G. N. Marshall. While there are many and varied kinds of business enterprises conducted by the Negro here, the Keystone Supply Company, consisting of dry goods, notions, shoes, hats, gents' furnishings and groceries, is the largest. The commercial rating of members of this firm in Bradstreet's Directort is $290,000. LEADS THE GRADUATING CLASS IN PENNSYLVANIA TOWN. Colesville, Pa., June 1.—Miss Mae Holland, daughter of a well known family of this place, leads the graduating class of the local high school this year. She received first prize for the best essay of her class. Her subject was "Education the Cornerstone of American Citizenship," and the winner received $5.00 This year is the first time any colored pupil has ever led her class in the history of the public schools of this borough, and Miss Holland's success is particularly gratifying to her friends. The graduating class is composed of 13 girls and 13 boys. The Allen Drug Store Pure Drugs, Hot and Cold Drinks, Toilet Articles and Cigars.

IOWA MAN FOR SPEAKER WALTER I. SMITH WILL PROBABLY SUCCEED "UNCLE JOE" CANNON. ROOSEVELT OPPONENT A CANNON MAN, A RULES MAN AND A HIGH-TARIFF MAN Washington—It has been said and written, and it seems to be pretty generally believed in Washington, that if the Republicans continue in control of the house, Walter L. Smith of Iowa will be the speaker of the Sixty-second Congress. The prediction that this honor is to come to the Iowa representative takes no account of one condition and one person—the progressive house tendencies and Theodore Roosevelt. There have been few standpatters like Walter L. Smith. He is the close friend and ally of James A. Tawney of Minnesota. When President Roosevelt asked Congress not to cripp' the WILLIAM H. WALTER I. SMITH. Congressman from Ninth District of Iowa. operations of the secret service of the United States, Mr. Smith and Mr. Tawney became leaders of the crippling endeavors. A direct issue was forced between the President and the Iowan and the Minnesota. The President lost his fight, but he went out of office believing that he was everlastingly right in it, and there is no reason to think that he has changed his mind. Smith, like the others, is a Cannon man, a rules man and a high tariff man, and moreover he stood on one marked occasion as an opponent of one of the legislative recommendations which Theodore Roosevelt believed to be vital to the cause of effective work in securing evidence that was necessary to enable the government to make good its prosecutions. The former President's house champions have not forgotten this fact. It seems likely, if judgment can be based on the present temper of things, that no pronounced reactionary can hope to succeed to the speakership. New Rules Fight Starts. Washington—The first of the resolutions amending the rules of the house to be fought for by the insurgents before adjournment was introduced Wednesday by Representative Madison, Republican, of Kansas. It provides that the speaker shall not entertain a motion to suspend the rules except on the first and third Mondays of each month and during the last six days of a session, and then only by a majority vote. Socialists Active in Austria. Sarayevo, Province of Bosnia.—Five shots were fired Wednesday at General Varesanian, the Austrian governor general of the newly-organized province of Bosnia by Kara Dogdan Karajic, a Socialist. The shots all missed. Karajic then shot himself, inflicting probably a mortal wound. Reno or Ely, Nev., or Juarez, Mex.? San Francisco.—Stirred to action by pressure brought to bear on him from all parts of his state and even from the National Capital, Gov. James N. Gillett of California Wednesday decided to prevent the prize fight scheduled to be held in this city July 4th between James Jeffries and Jack Johnson. Mayor McCarthy of San Francisco says the governor is not running the city—and declares the fight will occur there as scheduled. Mesa Verde Park Measure Is Passed. Washington — Senator Guggenheim Wednesday secured the passage through the Senate of the Mesa Verde park bill, permitting leasing of land. Cape Race, N. F.—Mr. Roosevelt appeals to the public to refrain from sending him any but important messages. The replies to these messages cost Mr. Roosevelt heavily, and he is compelled to leave many unanswered. St. Louis—One fireman was killed and two rendered unconscious by smoke and three others seriously injured Wednesday afternoon in a fire. Own A Watch! ONLY $11.50 EASY PAYMENTS.

MAKE A FUSS OVER ME! elt is within sight of home, office more than one year, an important but second-ress desire to get complete affairs, to effectually dispel and seek to influence the act.

His pre- and, many who remember give him with common glad bold, brilliant, honest and willing to forgive what will correct and overcome their public men who measure has only the one who live home today, and great if he steps again upon the so- Theodore Roosevelt is within sight of home once more. When he left the presidential office more than one year ago to lose himself in the jungles of Africa, an important but secondary consideration for the trip was his express desire to get completely out of touch with public life and its affairs, to effectually dispel all suspicion that he, in any manner, would seek to influence the administration that was to succeed his own. That he has achieved this desire there can be little doubt, but if it were ever supposed that the course he took would, for a moment, eliminate him from a most important relation with public affairs outside of the White House, that supposition has long since gone glimmering. When thousands of miles from civilization, his luck at shooting big and dangerous game animals was not the only thing that held the interest of millions of his anxious countrymen, but what Roosevelt would think of the trend of public affairs and what attitude he would assume upon them when he learned that his chosen successor had stolidly shaped their direction along lines sometimes flatly opposed to his known policies, was of vastly greater concern. No man ever before voluntarily placed himself out of public reach for so long a time, and yet remained the sole, the unnamed, dictator of millions of followers who absolutely refused to divorce themselves from his leadership. But the year has gone quickly, and the hunter's reappearance on the edge of the bush, with his face turned homeward, has been a general signal for fuss-making over him, not only at home, but abroad, where the sweep of his immense popularity was intuitively felt. Running over with philosophical ideas of statesmanship, his opinions have been sought abroad, with the result that he returns home wildly heralded as the foremost private citizen of the world. His prestige has not suffered, but upon the other hand, many who remembered him with bitterness are now ready to receive him with common gladness. Americans love a bold, brilliant, honest and aggressive champion of the people, and are willing to forgive whatever mistakes he makes in the belief that he will correct and overcome them with good. The several states have their public men who measure partially up to this standard, but the nation has only the one whom it at present knows and trusts. He will be home today, and great is the fuss that is being made over him as he steps again upon the soil where he was born. Let the bands play! NEGRO GENIUS vet almost entirely undevel- recognized and but little its true form when we m me simple traits or character able in usual lines, for But men of extraordinary in own conception or who NEGRO genius is yet almost entirely undeveloped, and because it is undeveloped it is poorly recognized and but little appreciated. We are speaking of genius in its true form when we make this assertion, and have no reference to the simple traits or characteristics which mark men as apt or unusually capable in usual lines, for of this latter class the Negro has a plenty. But men of extraordinary force, who develop conditions entirely of their own conception or who accomplish works new or unusual in their scope, so that the world looks up to them and acknowledges them as inspired leaders or gifted teachers in matters of rare importance to the world—this is the kind of genius we are contemplating. For it is genius of this character which measures the development of men and of races and of nations. It is personified in great sculptors and painters, great orators and statesmen, great scientists and educators, great mechanical constructionists and inventors, great moralists and teachers, great writers and poets. This kind of genius is manifestly present in the African character and the African nature, but as a modern force, it is entirely undeveloped. We have those who aspire, and who, perhaps, have touched the hem of the garment of some immortal genius of the world, but we have had few who have written their names in the sky, where the brilliant letters could not be erased. But genius, like other things mortal and social, is not wholly independent in its growth. It rises out of the substratum of its environment and is the expression of the inherent power and character of the people with which it is identified. A people must be a live and growing people to give birth to and develop a genius and the conception and the gift must grow out of the need. Perhaps Booker T. Washington, as a great organizer and director of educational forces, comes as near this mark of a genius as any Negro living, but his work has outspread racial environment and the white philanthropist must be largely eredited for what he has accomplished. Henry O. Tanner, the painter, is almost entirely the product of the white man's environment and the Negro is given little credit for his accomplishments. And so it goes down the line of our notables. These facts lead us to wonder if we are really developing a Negro people in America, or whether we are merely adjusting that people to an environment which will not require a genius of dark complexion for some generations to come. But a repressive condition is not a natural condition, and out of the blank and uncertainty of the present day may arise the very star for which we are looking. Groping now along misconceived lines of activity, the genius of the American Negro may be discerned by the close student of human nature, sometimes in the life of the sturdy pioneer settler, who might have been a statesman and a leader of men in another environment; sometimes in the checkered course of a magnetic but dissatisfied preacher, who might have been a gifted scientist; sometimes in the inconceivable successes of an obscure journalist or businessman, possessed of the undeveloped requisites of a brilliant promoter and director of great works; sometimes in the peculiar traits and contrivances of an ignorant countryman, who might have been an inventive or mechanical genius of great mark. That inherent genius is misapplied or continues dormant is due to repressive racial and conditions not understood as yet, but which must dawn upon the Negro in the course of future years. STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS The seventh annual convention of colored women's clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction convened at Shorter's chapel, Denver, June 14 to 16 inclusive. The guests arrived Tuesday evening and were greeted at the depot by the committee sent to welcome and escort them to the various homes. For their entertainment that evening a very enjoyable programme, consisting of living pictures and music, was rendered at the church, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Wednesday Morning. June 15. The first day session was called to order at the appointed time by the president of the session, Mrs. L. M. Froman, who presided in her usual delightful manner. The devotionals were conducted by Mrs. O. Elliot of Denver and Mrs. Dorcus Watson of La Junta, Colo. Following this, the business of the morning was taken up in accordance with the programme. After a selection of the "Treble Cleff Club" of Colorado Springs, which was exceptionally well rendered, the session adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock Wednesday Afternoon. Mrs. Buttler of Colorado Springs, vice president, called the session to order. After the devotionals and the transaction of the business the chairman of the programme committee, Mrs. Webb, presided. The reports by the chairmen of the various committees, music, domestic science, philanthropy, juvenile court and professionals, were instructive and showed deep research and careful study on the part of the participants. The musical and literary part of the programme was very classical. Mrs. Mable Fallings of Denver held the minute attention of the assemblage throughout the rendition of her piano solo, the famous Duglass funeral march, composed by N. Clark Smith. The paper, "Dignity of Work," by Mrs. Ida Payne of Pueblo, was a literary composition of great merit and contained many impressive ideas. The session was continued by the memorial committee and was opened by a vocal solo by Mrs. J. H. Hardy of Denver. The diseased members, Mrs. Dora Curtis, Mrs. Tinney Miller and Mrs. Bell of Colorado Springs; Mrs. America Crosswhite and Mrs. Anna Peach of Denver, were touchingly eulogized by Mrs. Braxton and Mrs. Butler of Colorado Springs and Mrs. A. Goens and Mrs. Falling of Denver. At the suggestion of Mrs. J. W. Young of Pueblo, the Federation joined in singing the Doxology in gratitude for the clubs not visited by death in the past year. The session adjourned to meet at 8:30 p. m. Evening. June 15. The evening session was called to order by the president. The Federation sang "Onward," by Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, followed by invocation by Father Brown of Church of Dedeemer. The vocal solo, "Come Back, Dearest Heart," rendered by Mrs. E. F. Landor of Cheyenne completely captivated the audience. The superb tone and technic of the voice was so thoroughly demonstrated and appreciated that the singer was forced to respond with an enchore. The welcome address on behalf of citizens of Denver, delivered by Hon. J. F. Shafroth, governor of the state, was listened to with marked attention. Mrs. Florence Cooper of Denver, president of city Federation, in a pleasing manner delivered the welcome address on behalf of the club women. The response to addresses by Mrs. Isabella Lennox of La Junta was a literary gem, forceful and convincing. During the delivery the speaker was interrupted by hearty and well deserved applause. The effect produced by the speaker, so strangely felt, will long be remembered. The "Waltz de Concert," composed by Blind Boon and artistically rendered by Mrs. J. A. Baker of Cheyenne, was a musical treat. Mrs. Baker is an artist of rare ability and is a musical credit to her race. The annual address by the president, Mrs. L. M. Froman, was heartily appreciated by all who enjoyed the privilege of hearing it and contained many practical thoughts. The Coleridge Taylor Musical Club of Denver rendered a delightful selection. The execution showed careful training and was well received. At the adjournment of the session, the delegates and friends were informally entertained in the lecture room of the church, where dainty refreshments were served. The following are the newly elected officers: 1. Pres., Mrs Butler, Colo. Springs. 1st Vice Pres., Mrs. Ashford, Cheyenen, Wyoming. 2nd Vice Pres., Mrs. Baker, Pueblo, Colo.

A well-known playwright who has a full-grown appetite and is particularly partial to caramels found a handful of very pretty confections on the top of his wife's dresser the other afternoon. He looked them all over and, selecting one encased in tin foll, ate it. It tasted to him as though it were stale. In the course of the evening his wife asked him if he did not want some candy. The writer of plays said he thought he had eaten all the candy he cared for that day. "You evidently buy the box because it has a pretty picture on it and let them give you the candy," he complained. "You can leave that tin-folded stuff around the house hereafter with safety. I've had all I want of it." "Oh," said his wife; "that covered with tin-foil wasn't candy. That was bath tablets." The Importance of Languages. Literature is not only a mirror of life as it is, but a mirror of life as we would wish it to be. A book is not only meant to state certain facts, and to be written in a certain style, but is meant to give a glimpse of the human spirit which prompted it. Here is where languages are of primary importance. Through them only can we get at the human spirit. They are in other words the instruments with which we rest the expression of the human spirit as well as a means of understanding the spirit itself.—From an Address Made by President Wilson of Princeton. Pat's Deficiencies. Mrs. McCarthy's husband went out in a boat alone, the boat overturned and he was drowned. A friend met her some weeks later. "I hear," said he, "that Pat left you very well off—that he left you $20,000." "True," said Mrs. McCarthy. "He did." "How was that?" asked her friend. "Pat couldn't read nor write, could he? "No," said Mrs. McCarthy, "nor swim." "But," he protested, "I already have an automobile." "Get another," was the stern dictum. When Candy Is Good for a Child. The average healthy child of ten or 12 should be able to eat of pure candy the equivalent in weight of two or three lumps of sugar after his midday meal. This, however, should not be given hir unless other proper foods, in sufficient quantity, are eaten, and should never be allowed between meals. Butter-taffy and molasses candy, made at home of pure materials, are especially to be recommended, and may be considered valuable articles of food.—Jean Williams, M. D., in Woman's Home Companion. Wisdom from the Past. I am likewise convinced that no man can do me a real injury, because no man can force me to misbehave myself.—Marcus Aurelius. Hardships Availed Nothing. Two Russian sailors, wishing to desert from their ship lying in the Tyne, England, took a boat and rowed for the open sea. They took with them food and clothing and $300 in cash. The flood tide set them inshore again and they tried to land, but the sea was running too high. For many hours they drifted helplessly about and finally their tiny craft was pitched upon the beach of Manhaven, near South Shields. Here they took refuge in a cave, where they lived four days and nights, until their food became exhausted. Hunger drove them into the open and eventually they were arrested.

Morris, with fifteen waiters, left Thursday to take charge of the dining room, Hotel Stanley, at Estes Park, Colo. Mr. Morris is one of the most proficient head waiters in this part of the country and always gives satisfaction wherever he is employed. Last week we made mention of some of the residences owned by colored citizens of Denver. Since then we have visited many more, all of which is a credit to the race. Among the many we mention the home of Ed Hamilton at 2229 Cleveland place and that of E. G. Page of 331 Garfield street, both of which are nicely furnished. The Caucasians who class the Negro as not taking pride in beautifying their homes would have a different view should they visit many of such homes owned by people of our race. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Rev. J. J. Cabbell preached two very timely sermons last Sunday. He left for Colorado Springs Wednesday where he is to hold the first quarterly conference of the People's M. E. Church.

Miss Evelyn Mitchell of the Smith- sonian Institution in Washington, who 1s one of the fore- most living au- e thoritles on mos- a quitoes, quotes a fetes Uttle niece of hers as saying: = “I TTL don't see why they eter | screech so. If they don't like how I taste, it's awful SSS] impolite for them oe Sc) to holler about it 0 loud.” ln @ReRAA To take the mosquito apart i fm TROT aS eaAA a ter of the insect Is fully understood. All over the world at the present time experts are studying mosquitoes in the laboratory and in their native haunts. They are even going to the trouble to breed them artificially, in order to find out everything about their life history from start to finish. The most intimate anatomy of the ‘creatures is being studied out, even to the structure-of the brain and nerv- ‘ous system. Some of the most impor- tant work of this kind is being done at ‘Khartum, in the Sudan, where only a few years ago the dreaded mahdi reigned supreme. | ‘The reason for all this activity les in the fact that there is an immense ‘deal yet to be learned about the mos- quito as a carrier of diseases. That ‘one kind of mosquito (Anopheles) is solely responsible for the existence ‘and spread of malaria has already ‘been determined. Likewise, that an- other kind (Stegomyia) {s exclusively accountable for yellow fever, every- | body knows. But there fs good cause to suspect that other genera of these ‘insects are the common carriers of other and very serious maladies—es- pecialy those prevailing in the tropics, which haye become of greater interest to ourselves since our acquisition of ‘the Philippines and Porto Rico, | Many of our soldiers in the Philip pines, as well as other Americans who have gone to live there, are attacked ‘by a malignant anemia, accompanied by swellings and other unpleasant symptoms, which is attributable to a minute worm that finds its way into the blood. It has been definitely as- certained that this disease is conveyed and spread by mosquitoes, In our own southern states there Is a serious malady commonly called “break-bone fever,” but otherwise known as “dengue.” It also prevails in the tropics quite generally. There is no question of the tact that this dis- ease owes its spread to a species of | mcearilte, which science has named Culex fatigans. | Breakbone fever, in {ts symptoms, bears some resemblance to yellow fever—so much so that the latter has often been mistaken for the former. There is at least @ likelihood that its germ {s related to that of yellow fe- ver. But this germ has never been definitely isolated and identified, prob- ably for thé reason fhat it is too small to be seen even with the ald of a high- power miscroscope. The same thing, indeed, ts true of the yellow fever germ. That the lat- ter is carried by mosquitoes was proven ten years ago by the remark: able experiments of Dr. Walter Reed, United States army, who demonstra- ted by actual trial that human beings could not catch yellow fever if pro: tected against attack by mosquitoes, even though they slept in beds in which sufferers from the disease had recently died. Furthermore, the fact that there 1s a specific germ, and that it is extremely minute, is shown con- clusively by the circumstance that the blood of a yellow fever patient, after passing through a Pasteur filter, will communicate the malady to 9 healthy person inoculated with it. Yellow fever has been almost en- tirely stamped out in Cuba by destroy- ing the breeding places of the Stego- myla mosquito. On the isthmus of Panama, through the adoption of sim- ilar means, the dreaded malaria has been put to rout. In view of which facts there is obvious reason to hope that further and more exact knowl. edge of this dangerous tribe of in: sects may lead to vast Improvements in the healthfulness of many regions, and may even open up to settlement certain extensive areas which, owing to the plagues afflicting them, are to- day practically uninhabitable. It is the female mosquito, of course, that does all the misctifef, in as much as she alone ts able to bite, She may be distinguished from the male, not only by her lack of the large and bushy whiskers which are his most striking ornament, but also by her very beautiful voice. Her lege lord is not a vocalist. The song of the lady mosquito is a real gong. The notion that her music is made by the vibration of her wings was exploded some time ago. If such an idea were to be accepted, why should she be often silent (as undoubt- edly is the case) when flying about? But this point was satisfactorily set. tled by an eminent naturalist who found by experiment that mosquitoes deprived of their wings could still make music when alarmed or other- wise excited. been definitely ascertained that the song of the lady mosquito 1s produced by her breathing—not through her throat (for she has no phystological equipment of that sort, such ag we possess), but through @ palr of tubes which have their external openings be- hind the wings. Just inside of each of these openings is a Iittle strip of a very hard substance called “ehitine,” which {s made to vibrate by the air passing through. It might be com- pared to a piece of whalebone, fast at one end and free at the other, ‘he vibrations of this strip are what make the music. The gentleman mosquito 1s harm- less to man. He 4s provided with no surgical instruments wherewith to make a puncture. Apparently his prin- cipal duty in life 1s that of a father. But he has a very highly developed taste for music. So well 1s he educa- ted in this respect that he 1s able un- erringly to recognize any lady of his own species by her volce. And this 1s an important matter, because difer- ent kinds of mosquitoes have yoices not at all alike. The song of the mala- ria carrier, Anopheles, for example, is a deep contralto—easily distinguish- able from the high soprano of the yel- low fever mosquito, stegomytia. ‘PROBE FOR “THIRD DEGREE” [Senate Committee Starts an Invest gation of Police Methods in Getting Confessions. Investigation into the methods of the police of Chicago and other large cities, organization of their bluecoated forces, exercise of the “third degree,” and the character of the benevolent protection societies the police have formed, has been started by a special committee of the United States senate in Washington. The committee, headed by Senator Curtis of Kansas, is designated to act under the Heyburn resolution recently passed. Letters denouncing the police methods in using the “third degree” upon suspects who cannot be moved to confession or disclosures of facts by the usual means have come to Chair- man Curtis from many cities. News- paper criticism of the extreme phases of the “third degree” have been show- ered upon the committee in the form of clippings. No inquiry recently attempted by the committee has aroused more com- ment. It is evident from the communt- cations received that there is a gen- eral demand for publicity upon police methods to determine to what extent force and extreme phases of punish- ment are used in the apprehension of criminals or the forcing of witnesses to testify. ‘The investigation will not stop at the securing of some details of “third degree” methods. The material now in the hands of members of the com- mittee 4s of so significant a character that it is impossible at the présént time to place a limit upon the commit- tee’s activities, It 1s expected that before the inves- tigation is closed elaborate inquirles will have been made into the organiza- tion of the police forces of the large cities and the real purpose of their beneficial societies and comparative facts prepared which will be urged upon state legislatures as the basis for new and uniform laws to govern police Raina Would Chance Old Party Nemec “If we could abolish and forget the names ‘Republican’ and ‘Democrat’ there would be a sweeping change in political conditions in this country,” remarked Congressman Burleson of Texas. “If we could supplant these designations with the names ‘Liberal’ and ‘Conservative,’ which would rep- resent existing conditions, there would be two useful parties and men could shift from one to the other as he favored a liberal, progressive policy, or a more conservative policy. If those names could be changed there would be such a new alignment that would make a most sweeping change in our political*aMllations. There are men calling themselyes Republicans now who have no place in that party and the same 4s true of many Demo- crats. The great trouble now in polt- ‘ties {s that men are divided by names ‘when their thoughts and feelings run in different grooves, It would be bet- ter for the country if we could have a party of conseryativism and a party of liberal or progressive tendencies, Such ‘party organizations would be more likely to keep an even balance be cause there would be times of progres- sive or liberal sentiment in the coun- try and at other times the conserva- tive sentiment would prevail.” | ‘AiubiecNasds ta the Horee. A warm personal friend of Con: gressman Dickinson recently dropped him a line about things back in the Sixth Missouri district.

According to the National Associa- tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, New York state leads in the number of beds for consump- tives provided up to May 1, with 5,476 beds; Massachusetts is second with 2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third, with 2,347 beds; Colorado, fourth with 1,489 beds; and New Mexico fifth, with 1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in the country has made adequate pro- vision for its consumptives. New York has set itself the task of having “No uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915,” and several cities in other parts of the country have adopted similar pro- grams. The National association says that tuberculosis will not be stamped out until all cases of this disease are cared for either in their homes or in institutions. With this end in view, efforts will be made to increase the number of hospital beds in this country to at least 35,000 by May 1, 1911. The Rude Visitor. There is a story about the secretary of a golf club who was a man of dl- minutive stature. It was summer time, and the grass had been allowed to grow rather long. The secretary was playing in front of a visitor who was a yery long driver, and kept dropping his ball in the neighborhood, of the secretary all the way round. At last the little man could stand it no longer and walked back and remonstrated with the visitor on his conduct, but the only reply he got was, “If you would cut the grass, one might be able to see you.” ‘Ths Laughing Barber. Jim Rice, the coach of the Columbia crew, was praising a stalwart fresh man. “He's so young and tender,” sald the coach, “you'd never think he could row. Why, they laugh at him at the barber's. “As he was getting his hair cut the other day he safd to the barber wist- fully. “"Do you think I'll have a strong beard? My father has a very strong one.’ “It looks to me,’ sald the barber, ‘as though you took after your mother.’ ” An Embryo Emancipator. A little miss riding on a Brooklyn trolley car the other day tendered the conductor half fare. “How old are you, little girl?” he queried, gin- gerly handling her fare. She pursed her lips for a moment, then calmly opened her purse, dropped two more pennies into the conductor's extended palm, snapped her purse and demurely replied: “You have your fare, sir; my statistics are my own!” A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE Medicine Not Needed in This Case. | It is hard to convince some people ‘that coffee does them an injury!

The average woman could worry along for a while longer watching prices of meats, eggs and nearly every other article of physical sustenance take flight sky- ward, but how she is going to survive without a sealskin sacque is what 1s worrying the benevolently not to say paternally inclined officials of the de- partment of commerce and labor. “{ have been wanting one so bad. ly,” Miss Blank was heard to say to the young woman with a great bunch of “rats” in her hair, “but mercy me, CfA!

If the grounds are closed the price of sealskin coats will go skyward, along with other necessities. If they are left open the price will re- main at the present figure for a while longer, but eventually will go up, as the fur-bearing herds of the Bering sea are depleted. So to the officials of the department the issue has re- solved itself into the question as to whether it is best to hold down the price for a while by releasing the sealing rights and letting the women of a future period stand the really high prices. ‘The lease of the North American Commercial company, which for 20 years has enjoyed the exclusive privi- lege of taking the seals, expired May 1. essary a few nights ago to use & “jimmy” to get into his own house.
